that time of year y/pages this year i decided on this one,whats peoples opinions i thought it may be pidgeon holeing?

 

[ckliff]

not sure what you mean by "pigeon holing", but great pic.
us real pros oughta show potential customers ropes & climbing.
makes em think twice about the guys with ladders...

 

[a_lopa]

ive noticed since ive put pics of climbing decent sized trees my smaller jobs have slowed thats all i ment by pidgeon holing.

you'll be the first guy I'd call if I wanted a big euc hatracked.

If I wanted tree care I'd call someone else.

What service do you want to sell?

Climbing itself is not such a huge deal; it's what you do with the tree that matters.

O and ckliff, Ladders are beautiful tools, like all the others, when used right.
And I'll race anyone to the top of most trees, using a ladder with no zing line.

ill admit i have little to do with that area of the buisness.

The picture shows me that you do takedowns and don't where PPE.

If I needed pruning I would be less likely to give you a call.

You must have some of the soft Kevlar available. From what I understand the stuff can be made to look just like a baseball cap but has the same protection as a plastic or composite helmet.

Or maybe you're just wearing a baseball cap in the picture
